People celebrate their festival their in great devotion. They believe that these festivals will purify their minds and will inspire them to lead a better and pure life. These festivals serve another good purpose. There is festival spirit every where. All the people irrespective of their social position and status, and power among the people.
Odisha festivals make strange practices and customs with quite range number of people.It is a common belief that unless some amount of gambling is under taken on dewali day, it would not be auspicious for their family and next year some bad omensin store for them.Gambling on this day is not desired by father for a son and is not opposed by a mother for a daughter. in fact all members of the family join hands.
In spite of these defects Indians festivals have a unique place. In the lives and customs of the people. They provide immense diversion to people from teirdull drab routine. odissa is a underdeveloped state. The people of orissa can tere fore ill afford which are so vital for the very existence of a man. the festivals, therefore,serve the masses more than the Indian classes, who can afford to go to cinema houses and clubs to entertain them. in short . our festivals offer much more tan what meets the eye.
